Hi all, I am new to the forum, I am looking for a second hand Disco TD5, only have £7000 to spend and have had TD5's since they first came out in 1999. Have a W reg which has done 165,000 miles and am looking to upgrade. I have looked at a 53 plate (nov 2003) 7 seater, auto, black cloth interior in met red with 113k on the clock. I like it a lot and it is 6k. Also seen a 2003 (03) 7 seater auto with cloth int with only 77k on the clock BUT when I went to drive it, it was wandering all over the road with about 8 inches of play in the steering wheel. On closer inspection there was a big leak from the steering box, the sellers are getting it mended but my mechanic says if it is only replaced with a pattern part or a recon box it will not last long. I can't see the seller wanting to fork out for a LR part? The lower mileage Disco is £7500. Am leaning towards the 53 plate red one what would you folks do???
